CC41 BOOKThe new book on CC41 Utility clothing has been available since November last year and is proving popular with vintage enthusiasts and collectors. Mike Brown the author is well known to those with an interest in WW2 home front and this is not only a beautifully illustrated book but a mine of information on a subject that is often misunderstood.
